Project: Identification and isolation of plant cells based on DNA content and fluorescence activated cell sorting

project duration

01-DEC-06 – 31-DEC-07

abstract

A flow cytometer with capacity to perform fluorescence activated sorting is requested to isolate cells with a particular DNA content. The apparatus can sort cells both on quantitative and qualitative parameters, including GFP and RFP fluorescent (green and red fluorescent protein that is excited by respectively blue and a green laser).
